The Buzz

I am adding a new feature to the blog. Every Tuesday I am going to post the latest Buzz (rumors) around the league. It will talk about rumors coming from all areas including on the field and off the field. I hope this is helpful when making some of those fantasy moves.

This week we are going to talk about the following NFL Teams: Washington Redskins, Tennessee Titans, and Buffalo Bills.

1st up Washington Redskins:
There is news flying around the league that the Redskins may be moving to more two tight end sets. 2nd year tight end Fred Davis has made major strides since his rookie season. He is looking to start contributing more to the team. Campbell had this to say about Fred, "I've been saying all along we need everybody, and Fred will be involved in what we're trying to do, Fred is one of the young guys we're expecting to see step up." Davis had this to say, "After last year, I just wanted to work hard and show the coaching staff I'm ready to do this, I feel like I've done that. I'm ready to do what I need to do if I'm out there with Chris, and I know what I need to know if they need me to be in there for Chris, I'm ready." These two quotes lead me to believe that we may be seeing more of Fred Davis. If he makes some big plays it may be trouble for Chris Cooley's production in fantasy this year. It is definitely something to keep an eye on.

2nd up Tennessee Titans:
Scaife is making waves in Tennessee. He had some very choice words for James Harrison on the hit he laid on him during their Thursday night game. "I have been playing my whole life and no one has ever hit me like that," Scaife said. "So I know when it is real and when it is not real. So it was a cheap shot and I don't care if that gets back to him either." Based on the rule book the hit was clean. It was very similar to the hit that Maurice Jones-Drew was complaining about the other day. Wide Receivers and Running backs are starting to complain about the hits to the legs. I wonder if the league will make changes to tackling?

3rd up Buffalo Bills:
Buffalo Bills have announced their team captains for the 2009 season and T.O. is not on that list. The offensive captains are Trent Edwards and Lee Evans. The team captains are decided upon by teammates votes. How do you think Terrell Owens took this? Good? Bad? Didn't care?

I hope you enjoyed this week's Buzz.
